Why Laser Micromachining Is The Preferred Process For Medical Device Manufacturing

Laser micromachining is often an essential part of device development in a number of uses, including the manufacture of medical equipment. These components are then integrated into a variety of products ranging from complicated surgical instruments to simple single-use products utilized by caregivers in or out of the hospital when needed.

Medical product designers and suppliers have to face up to stringent corporate obligations, such as profit margins and industry-wide regulations such as FDA compliance, system reliability, and safety, etc. 

Innovative techniques are used to help solve all of these challenges in order to create a value-driven atmosphere for consumers, care practitioners, and manufacturers alike.

Fiber chirped pulses are amplified by using a fiber amplifier to increase the ultrashort laser pulses in the picosecond and femtosecond ranges. More often associated with femtosecond laser micromachining, the use of laser pulses with exceptionally high power and short pulse lengths can make remarkably precise changes in materials.

Femtosecond laser micromachining helps by focusing on the part to be machined, and these laser pulses then vaporize or modify the material with little-to-no thermal deformation of the surrounding area.

Laser MicromachiningIn Medical Device Manufacturing

The ability to produce high-quality components is no surprise. Laser micromachining is increasingly adopted in the manufacturing of medical devices to revolutionize workflow processes. High-performance medical devices are designed with ever more complex geometry, with smaller feature dimensions than ever before, and tighter nanoscale tolerances (> nm).

These specific criteria virtually prohibit any other manufacturing technique than laser micromachining, thereby starting to eliminate other existing machining processes.

Femtosecond laser micromachining enables Laserod to achieve a variety of processes, such as cutting, drilling, and turning in just about any material. When you're searching for laser micromachining services or products, Laserod has decades of expertise in customizing laser solutions for your every need.
